Question - Boxing more then 6 toons

[Trila]

I box 6 toons currently using tier 2 Plugins, but if I make 2 groups and both groups are using mercs to fill in the teams which then gives me 12.

How do I get the other group to help with the fight once main group attacks cause all they do is sit there?

I would like to upgrade to more toons to do Raids, but not sure how this works to get the other groups to fight once main tank starts the fight from the other group.

I looked for an answer and could not find one.

since you're asking for cwtn plugins specifically please make sure to post in the cwtn section and to check the FAQ.

Please see >>> Getting Started with CWTN plugins! (Movement, UI Window, Clickies, Pulling, ETC) Check Here First! <<<

two groups should really be doing their own things independently.

if you're trying to do stuff together, raid them up, and go in raidmode, set a raidassist in the plugins and in your eq window

if you're trying to do "out of group assisting" check that sticky.

Okay, thanks

Have you formed a raid then have everyone assist the raid main assist?

How to do is going to depends on what's youre doing...something it's a key broadcast to coordinate navigating to a spot
Sometimes it's like @Sic and @uga2k20 said
Sometimes you can just /mac kissassist playername assist 100, THEN /chase on (I call this lemmings mode)
To get better advice you need to give specifics:
- EX Tank = MQ2Eskay, Cleric/Enc = plugin and ABC are doing KA or Mule...
- Easiest is to get your tank/enc/cleric running on CWTN...

Everyone else you KA and chase someone...

Are you Trying to use the others just as added dps? not to get exp? if so put the other team on puller tank make a very small pull radius on puller , rest on assist , just dont over do it or you will kill steal your group . Using raid will kill the exp....

I box 12 (without mercs). Do as previously stated, set the support team up to assist your main tank. I also split my second 6 person team up into two self supporting groups that way they don’t ks your main team. Also, if you have clerics (I run 4) have your MT on their extended window and/or write them into your healers/buffers ini’s.

Setup 2 Balanced groups in the same camp location - preferably where you are going to get a lot of mobs every pull and fast respawn.

Setup both groups with a Puller Tank and let them both pull and fight over mobs.

They will always be fighting over the mobs in camp, sometimes grp a will get the xp, sometimes grp b will get the xp.

If you want grp A to always get the xp - stack that group with the better dps

Put the toons your are leveling/ AAing in a DPS party. No tank. At best, use a shaman. Tank and healer(s) go in another group. You can put some other dps/ support in this group as well, if you can be sure that the main group won't be overtaken. In the DPS group, make one of the toons the MA (I do this with my bard). Use KA or the outassist Lua and assist the tank in the tank group. Profit. All this hunter tank stuff and what not really isn't necessary. If you're going to do that, then only the tank needs to be a hunter tank and everyone else is on chase whacking away.

I run a main group with the toons I want to get exp, run everyone else solo with a merc. If using CWTN you can put your group in assist and everyone out of the group in tank mode. Then use a script or a hotkey to call everyone to assist the main tank. Once they get the toon on xtarget they will go to town.

Thanks for all the suggestions

Work in Progress - OutAssist.lua - Assisting on a mob outside of the group

OutAssist will assist a character or group in killing mobs, while not being in the group. There is likely another macro or plugin capable of doing this, but this was a fun exercise. Only autoattack is used, no specific skills for any classes...

that works well enough. It can conflict with camp/chase settings when running KA though. From time to time. For what it supports with CWTN, it does fine.
